It seems that memory is the tool and the soul is the purpose. The memories and emotions mentioned in Blade Runner are not obvious here, but what I really want to incorporate are also emotions (the male protagonist is special to the female protagonist), and the aliens as a contrasting collective and individual. What is the so-called soul in Western thought?
It seems that I have to go back to ancient Greece again. According to my incomplete memory, I remember that a teacher pointed out that the ancient Greeks had a general recognition of the soul, so Plato, Pythagoras, and the others may not specifically choose to explain them when they write books. Remember that Aristotle had a book at the beginning of the introduction to the origin of what is memory. Too bad I forgot...
According to the movie, aliens want to get the soul of human beings, and the final method is to combine them with human beings. The extra thing from mudoch is the soul, which is the reason why people become human. (Here, the doctor is so abominable, I also want to know what it will be~) But in fact, the movie does not talk about the soul. It seems to show that the problem of human nature is not memory. This seems to be the consensus.
I want to think about Blade Runner again, and see what the philosophers have to say. I want to see ancient Greece again, sadly, I just forgot, or I never figured it out. What I read two days ago, except for the words that spread like ink in water, I also forgot about it later...
However, I still feel that the movie is too heavy, and he doesn't seem to have the feeling of evoking facial features or spiritual experience.
postscript:
It should be noted that the image of water, aliens hate water, Murdoch is after and in exchange for water.
Flip through the book and see that the ancient Greeks said "the soul evaporates from moisture", "don't let the soul get wet"... It's also a little fun, ignorant Tule.
